The Mysterious Healer
The Mysterious Healer is a hooded quest NPC found at the Fishing Village at the northern end of Ter Mur, which has been set up as a quarantine area for infected gargoyles.
When double-clicked, he gives out a pair of books, A Plea For Help and Laboratory Instructions as part of the A Plea For Help quest. The books explain what items to gather to create a Cure For The Great Gargish Blight as well as how to use the lab equipment, a sort of puzzle game to produce dosages of the cure.
Cures can be turned into the hooded figure to assist with saving infected gargoyles who will literally die right and left.
